Rocketts Landing

Rocketts Landing is a neighborhood of southeastern Richmond, Virginia, located on the north bank of the James River. It was named after the 18th-century ferryman Robert Rockett, and it was originally a factory and water tower before being converted into a new urbanist neighborhood with brick streets. During the American Civil War, Rocketts Landing served as a Confederate States Navy shipyard, and it was partially burned on 3 April 1865 during the Confederate evacuation of Richmond.
